Pointless he'd need super Soilder serum put on 1.15 pounds and two foot in height for Conte to be interested in him.I would take him back
I think we still own 50% of himI would take him back
We have a 50% clause, doesn't that mean he would effectively be half priceI would take him back
I think we still own 50% of him
Only 3 % of all EPL academy players ever get game minutes in the EPL.Wouldn’t shock me if he usurped Sancho in the next 12-24 months, for England anyway.
Not seen him lately, but such a talent, with TOB, Onomah, Edwards, KWP et al. we made such a mess!
TBF, the thread started as "Messi with an afro". So Houghton might miss the mark, but we're getting closer.And, played and beat Scott Houghton at Colts U13s/U14s 3x and he never had a whiff of Marcus quality. Poor thread tittle, no offence Scott… (he bum rushed us, first half of first game, though we’d heard he was a bit special, 3-0 up at half time they were, beat them 4-3, we had Matt Jackson Luton, Everton, Wigan who drove us back into the game, and the bar manager said he’d give us £1 each at half time if we won, quality through the team, was district cup final 1983, local press reported it “The making of a thriller” think mum still has the cutting…
Next game I saved a penalty against him, we overpowered them and won 3-1 I think, game after he didn’t show up (mentally) and we won 6-1 and his brother tried to beat up our stand in Goalkeeper, saying how we were not allowed to do this to his brother! (I’d been banned for not cleaning my room, and, PE/Footie stuff!
So missed that game, sadly… Think the reserve also saved a penalty. As recall Dad saying I might not get back in the team, yeah right I thought, just been MOTM in another District School Cup final, was pretty bad ass at U12.

I agree with this, he's never gonna be what we thought but he's a pretty good player and would compliment the squad well. I reckon if we never had him everyone would have been begging us to sign him up by now.He can take the Lucas Moura/Bryan Gil role after this season. The main reason I want him back though is his club-grown status. We're in desperate need of a player who is club-grown for the UEFA squad lists. (now that Winks is gone)
Got MoTM didn't he?Only 3 % of all EPL academy players ever get game minutes in the EPL.
TOB and Onomah both made a mess of their latent. Where are they now?
KWP has become a good player but not good enough for Spurs even now - and did not impress when he did get his chance at Spurs.
